Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known app which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of organizations which create paid script applications, so if you acquire such an application for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
